Question 475286: A partially disabled M-1 Abrams Tank is headed for an emergency
depot base 141 km away. The tank travels at an average speed of 24
km/h. An emergency humvee from the depot heads out to meet the
tank at an average speed of 70 km/h. How long will it take for the
tank and humvee to meet?

You can think of this as 1 of them standing still
and the other heading toward the stationary one
at the sum of their speeds, so
It will take an hour and a half for them to meet
